And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
They took some of the fruit from that land and brought it back to us. They gave us their report and said, 'This is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.'
The writer is describing how the scouts brought back fruit as proof and reported that the Promised Land was indeed good, just as God had promised.
📚 Historical Context
This verse refers to the twelve spies Moses sent to explore the Promised Land of Canaan before the Israelites entered it. The spies spent forty days exploring the land and brought back samples of its produce, including grapes so large they had to be carried on a pole between two men. This was part of God's plan to show the Israelites the abundance of the land He was giving them after their exodus from Egypt.
